was placed on the list of ministers who had been in that office in England
by Cotton MATHER, but we have not been able to trace him back to England.
Family tradition says that his mother was the daughter of John ROGERS,
the Smithfield, martyr.
He arrived before 1634 and was employed in a grammar school in Charlestown
in 1635 and in Cambridge in 1637. He moved to Duxbury in 1638 and
received a grant of a considerable tract of land there in 1640, 'on the
north-west side of North Hill'.
In 1644 affairs at Scituate had become ripened for the settlement of a
minister in the Second Church. He was invited to preach, and was
ordained pastor in 1645. The record of baptism for the church from
1645 to 1674 was kept in his hand.
There exist but a few printed works of this venerable man. Cotton MATHER
commends a certain little book of his concerning the life of John CLAP
of Scituate.
He left his house and orchard to his grandson, Samuel WITHERELL, Jr in
1684. He left wearing apparel to John and Tehophilus.
